AOL bug! with dhtml, HELP!
I am using dhtml layers with a scroll function. The content in the layer that is clipped is not appearing for AOL users. Here is the link:

Anyone know what might be happening?

No idea, but do you really need to use that anyway? It's pretty annoying - I can't scroll the text with my mouse wheel or click and drag-select text to scroll either. Instead I have to flick my mouse over those little icons (for some reason in Mozilla it only scrolls when my mouse moves off rather than scrolling continuously as long as I have my mosue pointer over the icon). All in all that scrolling thing would seem to be more trouble than it's worth - have you considered using an IFRAME instead?

Skunk,
Good point. Unfortunately, the client is stuck on the scroll being like it is. I was not aware of the wierd Mozilla issue. Thanks.
Anyone know a great resource for AOL: bugs, viewable window size, etc?

AOL Users not accepting. I don't use AOL so I don't know but ask some people on AOL or do some research about DHTML with AOL Browser. I think that most AOL people use either Netscape o IE not AOL Browser. I am not sure on the number though.

try something like this
PHP Code:function verifyCompatibleBrowser(){
this.ver=navigator.appVersion
this.dom=document.getElementById?1:0
this.ie5=(this.ver.indexOf("MSIE 5")>-1 && this.dom)?1:0;
this.ie4=(document.all && !this.dom)?1:0;
this.ns5=(this.dom && parseInt(this.ver) >= 5) ?1:0;
this.ns4=(document.layers && !this.dom)?1:0;
this.bw=(this.ie5 || this.ie4 || this.ns4 || this.ns5)
return this
}
bw=new verifyCompatibleBrowser()
var speed=50
var loop, timer
function ConstructObject(obj,nest){
nest=(!nest) ? '':'document.'+nest+'.'
this.el=bw.dom?document.getElementById(obj):bw.ie4?document.all[obj]:bw.ns4?eval(nest+'document.'+obj):0;
this.css=bw.dom?document.getElementById(obj).style:bw.ie4?document.all[obj].style:bw.ns4?eval(nest+'document.'+obj):0;
this.scrollHeight=bw.ns4?this.css.document.height:this.el.offsetHeight
this.clipHeight=bw.ns4?this.css.clip.height:this.el.offsetHeight
this.up=MoveAreaUp;this.down=MoveAreaDown;
this.MoveArea=MoveArea; this.x; this.y;
this.obj = obj + "Object"
eval(this.obj + "=this")
return this
}
function MoveArea(x,y){
this.x=x;this.y=y
this.css.left=this.x
this.css.top=this.y
}
function MoveAreaDown(move){
if(this.y>-this.scrollHeight+objContainer.clipHeight){
this.MoveArea(0,this.y-move)
if(loop) setTimeout(this.obj+".down("+move+")",speed)
}
}
function MoveAreaUp(move){
if(this.y<0){
this.MoveArea(0,this.y-move)
if(loop) setTimeout(this.obj+".up("+move+")",speed)
}
}
function PerformScroll(speed){
if(initialised){
loop=true;
if(speed>0) objScroller.down(speed)
else objScroller.up(speed)
}
}
function CeaseScroll(){
loop=false
if(timer) clearTimeout(timer)
}
var initialised;
function InitialiseScrollableArea(){
objContainer=new ConstructObject('outerBox')
objScroller=new ConstructObject('innerBox','outerBox')
objScroller.MoveArea(0,0)
objContainer.css.visibility='visible'
initialised=true;
}

AFAIK, all versions of AOL above 5 use the IE5 rendering engine (6 & 7 certainly do), so should be fine with any IE4+ DHTML code. Sounds like some AOL users haven't updated their software in YEARS!!!

Fly Swatter,
I think you're right.
I went to microsoft to download IE4, it's not available anymore (or at least not easily). Anyone know where I can download a copy of version 4?

Have fun...all the browsers...but you won't be able to install it anyways...windows doesn't allow two different versions of ie to run.Maelstrom Personal - Apparition Visions

I run both ie4/6, but you need to have ie4 instaled first, then when you installing ie5+, choice the option which alows you to run Internet Explorer- 4 Compatible (its a lot of bs, but what chioce do we have...)

Actually, using VMWare (a virtual PC application), I have 5 virtual PCs set up as follows:
1. Windows 95 - IE 3.0
2. Windows 98 - IE 4.01, NS 4.08, NS 4.78, Opera 4.02
3. Windows 98 - IE 5.0
4. Windows 98 - IE 5.5
5. Windows 98 - IE 6.0, NS 6.22, Mozilla 0.9.0, Opera 6.02
With these set up, I can instantly check any page in any PC browser! I highly recommend that others do the same - it takes a couple of hours to set up, but it's well worth it!

I run only one OS (Windows XP) on my "real" PC, and then run anything else I like via VMWare on "virtual" PCs(such as the list posted earlier, or Linux, OS/2, you name it!)

Ah, you mean choose on bootup of your (real) PC what OS you want to boot into? That's called dual-booting (or multi-booting). Is that what you mean?

when dual/multi booting keep each os on a different partition or hard disk.

I just want to be my own P @ spades (flipside.com), but you can only run one client @ a time. I tried editing the registry, but no luck there.. So, the only option I can think, other then buying a 2nd PC, is running 2 OS @ the same time, but this doesn't seem likely.
So my ? is can VMWare do this?
Thanks
